South Mountain and Catoctin Mountain dominate this landscape where the Potomac River carves its path along the Maryland and Virginia border. In this era, the river corridor serves as a vital artery for transport and industry, featuring the parallel routes of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. These twin infrastructure marvels converge at Washington Junction, a critical point for the Metropolitan Br and the Norfolk and Western Ry.
